Karl Mannheim was one of the leading sociologists of the twentieth century. Essays on the Sociology of Culture, originally
published in 1956, was one of his most important books. In it he sets out his ideas of intellectuals as producers of culture
and explores the possibilities of a democratization of culture. This new edition includes a superb new preface by Bryan Turner
which sets Mannheim's study in the appropriate historical and intellectual context and explains why his thought on culture
remains essential for students engaged in debates about mass culture, the politics of culture

Karl Mannheim's thought cuts across much of twentieth-century sociology, politics, history, philosophy, and psychology. This
enlarged anthology convincingly demonstrates his centrality to present-day interpetive social and political theory. The posthumous
publication of Structures of Thinking and the full text of Conservatism have made From Karl Mannheim more relevant than ever.
This volume demonstrates Mannheim's self-awareness and self-critical rhetoric, his sensitivity to cultural contexts, his experimental
approach to systems of ideology, his recognition of multiple modes of knowing, and other features of his unfinished theorizing.There
is a strong affinity between Mannheim and contemporary interest in problems of cultural interpretation. New sensitivity to
the issue of relativism in both social and cultural studies also depends heavily on Mannheim. The recent demise of communism
in Eastern Europe and Russia has focused attention once more on relations between intellectuals in politics, and Mannheim
is arguably the most influential thinker who placed this relationship at the center of informed discussion. The range and
variety of the articles in this volume reveal him, once again, as a formidable experimental and innovative thinker.This expanded
edition includes Mannheim's brilliant essay "The Problem of Generations." In a new substantial introduction, Volker Meja and
David Kettler analyze previously unpublished writings by Mannheim. From Karl Mannheim is essential reading for social and
political theorists, as well as for psychologists. As Emory S. Bogardus noted: "Mannheim's life-work is seen as an important,
far-reaching and thoughtful complement to the work of sociologists who concentrate then- research in terms of behavioral science."

"German professors and academic intellectuals are often blamed for passivity or complicity in the National Socialist rise
to power. Karl Mannheim was a leading representative of a vital minority of university personalities who devoted themselves
to making sociology and higher education contribute to democratization. Sociology as Political Education is both an analytical
account of Mannheim's efforts as well as an illustration of the application of sociological knowledge to the world of practical
action. Together with a second biographical volume by the editors, forthcoming next season, it comprisesa complete record
of Karl Mannheim in the university life of the Weimar period.The comparatively new discipline of sociology was looked upon
with favor by the Weimar Republic's reformers of higher education. In advancing its methods Mannheim had first to contend
first with prominent and influential figures who attacked sociology as a mere political device to undermine cultural and national
values for the sake of narrow interests and partisanship. He then had to meet the objections of fellow sociologists who were
convinced that the discipline could prosper only as an area of specialized study with no claim to educational goals beyond
the technical reproduction. Finally, he had to separate himself from proponents of politicized sociology. Sociological thought
should be rigorous, critical, and attentive to evidence, but, Mannheim argued, its system had to be open and congruent with
the ultimate responsibility of human beings for their acts.Loader and Kettler supplement Mannheim's groundbreaking volume
with previously untranslated Mannheim texts, among them a transcript of his 1930 sociology course in which Mannheim answered
his critics and clarified his intentions. Sociology as Political Education is not only of historical significance, but also
shows Mannheim's relevance for current discussions of academic integrity and politicization. This volume will be of interest
to sociologists, cultural historians, and political scientists."--Provided by publisher
